Does anybody believe this story about how they're not granting governments access? Because it's easy to say no to the CIA. Because there's nothing that could be leveraged against them. Because corporations hate money. Uh-huh.
These are slave devices for slaves.. If we're going to have a society where nobody has computers, then fuck, let's get Ted Kaczinsky out of jail, into the White House, and do it PROPER - so we don't have ransomware in our hospitals, hackers controlling our banks, and foreign agents putting poison in the drinking water all by remote. Why have all the drawbacks of the corrupted Electronics Age, and none of the benefits?

That's a great resource to be able to comply with all the wildly varying state to state laws. Also good if you want to add a non-residents permit for a state you don't live in to just see how many additional states it adds to your ability to free travel.
What a fucked up world where any of that is even a requirement.

For tube.i2p?
I did at stats.i2p and reg.i2p and.. something else, I think. It's in the skank.i2p subscription list as well. I'll add it to your tracker site once I get back on I2P later, I couldn't access it the other day for whatever reason.

Why is the hostname not registered? Or, if it is, where?

Reply to Is WebP really better than JPEG? by Wahaha
Short answer, no. WebP is a mixed bag. Might be better or might be worse. No compelling reason to make a switch, yet, unless faced with very specific scenarios.

It's somewhat too common to be only considered a subculture, though, it's mostly restricted to Tokyo. And it's not "young looking women", but actual schoolgirls who do cosplay and have jobs at maid cafes.

Eh, some conservatives are upset by the book Heather Has Two Mommies. I would argue that those conservatives are not "the good guys", thus validating Ramaswamy's point. So, yeah, he's pretty much right!

I love Alfie Aesthetics. Good wildlife and bushcraft videos that are educational, sometimes humorous, and not annoying 'bubba' types talking about politics. Dude knows his stuff.

Nothing wrong with the content of the books they're reading. I believe most conservatives aren't upset by the books themselves.

Same. No email. They have an obligation to report breaches.

That link there gives a LOT of context! Gab is free in the sense of allowing people to post things but not private in the sense of having their acts together technically.

Conservative groups have opposed this: https://www.dragqueenstoryhour.org/
(One could argue that it's the audience's age, not the books themselves, that are the problem.)

Looks like pedo bait to me.
Is there a subculture in Japan of sexual deviants who like young looking women dressed up like a french maid?

You shouldn't ever censor the free speech and expression of anyone else.
Banning a book? Sure, let's not put pedo materials in an elementary school. Let's not put Penthouse in the boy's bathroom.
There has to be some appropriate audience and placement where unacceptable.
But preventing the printing of. That's bonkers. I don't care if it is the Anarchist's Bible (self wounding will happen) or it's some fringe deviant sex crap that runs afoul of current laws.
Those who seek to censor broadly are enemies of humanity.

Reply to Many Moving Magnets Melting Metal by Rambler
In fairness, that is some cheap / weak metal with a very low melting point.
Same video was one with the LEDs... That's interesting pulse charger that could be made to siphon some energy.
Those Lister motors are just wonderful. Almost bought one years back. Sad I didn't.

Reply to Not enough Pay Pigs! 80% of Denmark Males Shun the Anti-Male dating world. Denmark Government Begs Men to Impregnate its Obnoxious Feminists, and pay child support as wage slaves! by smartypants
There is a name for this movement - which I do not know. It is not just in Denmark.
It is a global thing at this time.
I found the article funny. That men have been turned into accessories, sperm donors and perma paycheck since they got laid once and bore child.
That description applies to the United States experience since at least the 1960's. 50-60 years into this horrible insanity in the US.

Thank you Rambler!
May I recommend this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/
Privacy Redirect catches common spy platforms and bounces you to privacy respecting alt wrappers.. This includes Invidious instances for avoiding YouTube (which you can manually plug this new one into).
Same plugin exists for Chrome (die Google!).

... I thought we had laws over US companies on being pawned like this.
They are supposed to notify people.
Hate to tell my liberal idealistic friends conducting such hate campaigns, but this ceaseless pursuit of politically in opposite to you doesn't end well. Two party system is an illusion. Theater. Two wings of the same lying bird.
You just are going to cause utter dis-abandonment of sites, web, etc. All of them.
I couldn't care any less because I view liberal pursuits as what already wrecked the technology almost 20 years ago. Not a silly-con valley firm at mass scale who isn't wonky liberal. Go abroad it they are headed up by control freaks with clearer stripes.
Only going to defund yourselves and send everyone into hidden and much more fortified private spaces. Your endless data collection and intelligence will die swiftly.
